Take Down the Fences.

There is growing sentiment In this
county in favor OF doing away with
fences. 1t is probable that If the ques-
! tion OF "tenoe" or mo fence" were SUBJ
mitied 10 the people the majority would
be found in favor OF $40 fence" The
cost OF fsnciug land is very great, so great
indeed that 1t prevents a great deal OF
land il this county from being cultivated
that 10 well adapted for planting pur-
poses.
IN other pats OF this State ard in other
Sta;cs the adoption Of the "no fence" law
has resulted IN rapid increase IL TIE
cultivated araa.
There 10 another thing which follows
the adoption of the ''no fence" law. 1t
is the Improvement of live stock. The
poor, scranny cattle and raZor-back
hogs disappear, and in their stead are
found well-fed, sleek-looking and profit
yielding animals. The increased area
placed under cultivation furnishes an
ample surplus to keep the stock in good
condition. In this county, as rule,
cows which are kept for their milk are
confined in pastures, and the compare
lively worthless and hall-staryed animals
are permitted to run at large to pick up
food wherever they can find it.
Previous to the adoption of the ''no
fence" law in a majority OF the counties
of this State, it was estimated that the
cost Of the fences was greater than the
value Of The cultivated land.
While the fences in this county are not
/ worth more than the land that is titled.
they are heavy tax upon the farmers
| and gardeners. They only serve one pur-
pose, and that is to protect the growing
crops from the half-starved cattle which
are straying about. The burden of MAIN
tanning fences has to be borne fox the ben
elt OF the owners OF cattle, which would
be much more valuable if confined in pas
lures and properly fed and cared for.
The citizens ofSavannah are interested
in having every bit OF the tiilable land of
the county put under cultivation. The
great increase in farm and garden pro-
ducts which would follow would benefit
the city in many ways. The adoption Of
the ''no fence" law would quickly double
the number OF farms and gardens in the
county, would relieve the farmers and
gardeners Of a great expense, and would
give an impetus to agriculture that moth
ing else could. VIII not the farmers and
gardeners take hold of this matter? 1t
is well worth their attention. The money
that is now spent for new fences and in
repairing old ones could be used to great
advantage in opening new lands and i'm
proving farm buildings. Open tillage
means better farms and more of them,
and better and more profitable cattle.

clara Foltz. Attorney at LAW

Prom the d72s"s cay Times.
One of the passengers on the incoming San
ia Fe train from the Pacific slope last even
ing was Young lady. She was remarkably
pretty, and on that account the natural in
terst always shown'by other passengers in A
young girl travelling alone was in no degree
lessened in this instance. On arriving here
she declined the preferred escort of a gentle
man and lady to hotel, and, gathering her
bundles, she packed them into the arms of
the porter and under his direction went to
the Blossom House. Diminishing the boy, she
rang the hell in the parlor. and when 1t was
res pended to she cent her card to the clerk.
1t read:
Miss Clara Foltz, Attorney at Law, San
Francisco"
The clerk was astonshed, and thought the
young lady had sent the wrong card by mis-
take. He had met one lady lawyer, Mrs,
Belva Lockwood, of w ashin gtOn, and Belva's
makeup was hardly like that OF the young
girl in the parlor. 1t proved true, however,
that the young lady is disciple OF Black
stone, and the first lady lawyer on the Paci-
flc slope. She comes to Kansas City to take
part in an important land suit in the United
States Court, Miss Foltz has been practicng
in the California courts for some time and
has worked up fine paying practice. She is
said to be an excellent criminal lawyer, and
can bring jury TO tears as easily as Clara
Morris does a ladies' matin ee.

The Presidents Mistake.

The New York Times cOmmends the
President for refusing to sign the river
and harbor bill. 1t points out that on
NOv.1 last there was on hand for work
on rivers and harbors S16,636,3 and
argues that there was not, therefore, any
necessity for the $40, 100000 more which
the defeated bill carried.
Clearly the Times doesn't know what it
is talking about. Take the Savannah
harbor for instance. The unexpended
appropriation will be exhausted by next
July or August, and there is no probable
ity that there will be another sppropria-
tion made within a year from that time
Work on the hsrbor Improvement will,
therefore, be suspended for whole year
or more. In that time the Improvement
will suffer great damage, and the COM
merce of the port will be obstructed.
The cost OF repairing the damage
will doubtless amount to as much as
the cost of completing the improvement.
1t is probable that the same condition of
affairs, to some extent, exists in other
narbOrs. Perhaps the President and the
Times consider this economy. Does not
the President know that suspending
work on public Improvements does not
lessen the cost OF them? increases the
cost, and that, too, largely. The govern
ment engineers are not going to waste
the appropriations. II an appropriation
is larger for any river and harbor in any
year than Is needed 1t will not be wasted.
1t will be used the following year. The
President clearly made mistake In re-
fusing to sign the river and harbor bill.

A Miner millionaire.

least $4,000, 900. Four years ago he hadn't a
penny, except what he earned from day TO
day 40 miner. His name is John L. NORRIS

original sum was repaid. Within thirty DAYS
they struck a vein of high-c ass ore that has
yielded them a monthly income of $4,000

A Few Disorders.

There are few of Thoma sville's citi-
zens it seems who are opposed to proposed
railroads from their city to Monticello
and Tallahassee. They are afraid Thom-
asville will lose little of her trade and
some of her winter visitors If the roads
are built They are certainly short
sighted persons. The more railroad con-
nections Thomasville has the greater
will be her trade, and her attractions as a
winter resort will be increased, She 10
just as likely to draw trade from Month
cello and Tallahassee as either OF those
towns is to draw trade from her.
The development OF the country round
about her will DO Thomssville an INN
amount of good. AS the surrounding
country improves her trade will improve.
her fine climate will always insure her
a reasonable share OF the winter visitors
to the South. and will also recommend
her as an excellent location for certain
kinds OF manufactures.
Instead of opposing the projected rail-
roads she ought to be gratifed at the
prospect OF getting them. They will not
cost her a cent, and they are certain to
increase her Importance and prosperity.
1t IS probable that the number Of her oiti-
zens who fail to see the advantage the
proposed roads will be to her is small.
IL is noticeable that both Tallahassee and
Monticello regard them with great favor,
even though they will be at considerable
expense to get them. They have gone to
work theoretically to raise the necessary
money for the grading required of them.

Rigid and Hnbroken laws,

Conceals from men the woman's heart,
Feathers curling white and gracious,
What sweet virtues emblemed there!

License TO MARRY.

The other day the MORNING NEWS an
nouBced the marriage of Janish, the ac-
tress, and George W. Moore, a member
of her company. The announcement was
based upon telegram to a New York pa
per, but it seems that the marriage did
not take place. Another telegram ex-
plains that while Janish was conversi n z
with Moore at Danville, Va, on
the subject OF marriage he
told her that in the United States a
license authorizing marriage was very
easily obtained. She expressed surprise,
and doubted his ability to prove his as
sertion. Whereupon he went to the
proper officer and obtained license per-
hitting himself and JanIsh to marry. He
showed it to her, and it is needless TO say
that she was convinced. In accordance
with the law the license was recorded. A
reporter saw the record, and very natur-
ally supposed that Janish had become
Mrs. Moore.
The case is interesting because it sug-
gests possibilities not at all pleasant. Ii
any man, not known to the proper officer,
can obtain a license to marry any woman
whom he may mention, it is easy to see
that many unpleasant complications
might result. Suppose, for instance, that
to crafty his ill-feeling toward success
ful rival man should obtain license to
marry the lady who had rejected him.
To cause endless gossip of the most I'M
pleasant nature, 1t would then only be
necessary for MN to show the license to
a reporter, or to n laxative friend.
Another complication, still more I'M
pleasant, might be brought about by
some ones obtaining a license for the
marriage OF parties entirely innocent of
any intention to unite their destinies. A
case which happened in this State, some
years ago, will illustrate. A mischievous
young man went to the Ordinary OF a
mountain county and obtained license
authorizing a friend OF his and a young
lady, both of whom lived in another
county, to marry. The fact that the
license had been Issued was mentioned
in the county paper, and
In this way it was made known in the
county in which the victims of the oke
lived. They were surprised and
distressed. Their friends received
their explanations with doubt. The
male victim found 1t impossible
to satisfy the young lady whom he
was really about to marry, and the result
was that she never became his wife. Un-
der the present practice, almost any
young man or young woman might be
subjected to a similar unpleasant expe-
rIence.
The subject is one for the attention of
Legislators. Cases like those that have
been mentioned are rare, but that is no
reason why they should not be rendered
impossible. Marriage is too sacred
thing to be made a joke OF, or to be trIfled
with to the discomfort and injury OF the
unsuspecting.
